Herbalism and Alchemy List

The Process of Alchemy

When a player would like to craft a potion or a poison, they make an Alchemy Attempt, which is equivalent to casting a Ritual spell. This process takes 10 minutes to complete and results in a single vial if successful.
Alchemy Modifier = Wisdom or Intelligence Modifier + Proficiency Bonus (only if using tools you are proficient with)
To start a basic Alchemy Attempt, you select a base ingredient to work with. Base ingredients have the term Effect in front of the description. When crafting, you can only have one of these base ingredients.
Once you have your base ingredient, you can add other ingredients that have the Potion Modifier, Toxin Modifier or Special term in front of the description. You can only have one Effect ingredient and up to three Modifier ingredients in a single concoction.
On a successful Alchemy Attempt, you create the vial. On a failure, the vial's contents do not give the desired effect.

Potion Sickness

Drinking too many potions can have variable consequences if not carefully monitored. If a player ingests 8 or more ingredients worth of potions between periods of a long rest some consequences may appear. These include becoming sick to your stomach and gaining a level of exhaustion or even having to roll on the Wild Surge table.

Identifying Ingredients: The player will have to keep a list of herbs and their purposes. In order to discover the uses of herbs, the player can do 2 things.
